Jet2 has cancelled flights to an Italian destination famed for it’s old Hollywood glamour, sun-drenched towns and limoncello.

That’s right, travellers can wave goodbye to their dreams of holidaying on the Amalfi Coast, as the budget airline has rolled back it’s plans to fly to Salerno Costa d’Amalfi.

The airport only opened in July last year — giving tourists the option to fly directly into the Amalfi Coast, rather than Naples, over an hour away.

But now, Jet2 say they will be cancelling flights before they’ve even started, explaining that the decision to withdraw is ‘in response to demand’.

Last year, the carrier said that services would begin from Manchester and Birmingham in May, offering weekly Monday services.

A spokesman told Metro: ‘As a successful business, we are continually reviewing our flying programme and will make adjustments where required. This gives us the ability to add flights and holidays in response to demand, and very occasionally we may withdraw flights too.

‘Following this latest review, we have taken the decision to withdraw services to Salerno Airport from Birmingham and Manchester Airports.’

Exciting new flight routes in March 2025

This week, there’s been a flurry of new flights from UK airlines.

  • Wizz Air have launched the first direct flight from the UK to the Saudi Arabian city of Medina. The airline will begin daily return flights from London Gatwick Airport to the city, with tickets starting at £233.99 for the seven hour journey.
  • Liverpool’s John Lennon Airport is regularly ranked the ‘best’ in the UK, and now, a new service from the city to Gran Canaria has been launched. starting on October 27 2025. Flights will depart on Mondays and Fridays throughout the winter, with fares from as little as £34.99.
  • It’s not all bad news for Jet2 travellers. After experiencing unprecedented demand for travel to Rhodes, Corfu, Crete and Kos, the airline has now added more than 17,000 seats, available between July and October 2025. Flights will depart from regional airports including Bristol, East Midlands, and Manchester.
  • This October, UK passengers will be able to book plane tickets from Manchester, to Southampton and Exeter with Loganair, the UK’s largest regional airline. They’ve confirmed two new routes launching from Manchester to Southampton, and Manchester to Exeter. It’s the first time ever these cities will be connected by air.

It means that disappointed holiday makers will be looking to claw money spent on flights and holidays.

Jet2 continued: ‘Where customers are affected, we will contact them to let them know their options which include travelling via Naples Airport, rebooking, or receiving a full refund.’

For those tourists who do make it to the Amalfi Coast this summer, they’rein for a taste of ‘la dolce vita’.

Towns like Sorrento and Positano are a must, or you can hop on board a boat, and sail around Capri, taking a dip in the Blue Grotto, with waters so impossibly turquoise, you’d be forgiven for thinking they’re photoshopped.

There’s also the areas most famous landmark, the Cattedrale di Sant’Andrea, which is free to enter. While most travellers take their obligatory snap on the building’s staircase, make sure you head inside too.

And tourists aren’t disappointed. ‘It’s unbelievably beautiful and the food is amazing,’ wrote on Redditor. While it’s been dubbed ‘the most beautiful place on Earth,’ by reviewers on TripAdvisor.

If you do want to get to Amalfi via Jet2, they offer several flights to nearby Naples.

A spokesperson said: ‘With a fantastic programme of services to Naples Airport from seven UK bases, including Birmingham and Manchester, we know that customers and independent travel agents still have superb choice when it comes to accessing the region.’

How to travel to the Amalfi Coast via Naples

The flight from the UK to Napes takes approximately two hours and 45 minutes. 

There are a number of transport options available when you land in Naples, including the Naples Alibus Airport Shuttle, or you can take a taxi which costs around €20 to the city centre.

You can reach the Amalfi Coast by taxi from Naples or by boarding a train to Sorrento before catching a bus to your destination.

Flights to the Amalfi Coast via Naples are offered by a number of different airlines, including easyJet from £183.
